Belle Azure: Pearlizers vs. Bronzing Sticks

[Moodie613]

I'm tempted by the pinky versions of both, but I'm not sure if I really NEED both. I haven't seen them in person, so I'm wondering if anyone here, who has seen them/played with them, could tell me if they give the same or different effects when applied to the skin.

Thanks for your help!

I bought the pink stick, it's nice, and pretty sheer. I found the pearlizers not really all that special!!

are the bronzing sticks better than nars multiples?

 

[Sanne]

dunno,I have no access to NARS...

I actually didn't like the bronzing sticks. i thought they were hard to blend out and if you dot them, they get blotchy. and when you do blend them, it just turns shimmery. you can get a better effect with the pearlizers.

I liked Quiver a lot more than I thought I would, it looked the same on me as the Rose D'Or Bronzing stick, I know it sounds crazy, but quiver is NOT as brown as the swatch looks, just really pretty like a bronzer and a blush blended together. The other pearlizers were too chalky for me. Even the MA agreed that the sticks were great, quiver was great, but you really don't NEED both, it's whichever you think you'd be more apt to use more often. I don't really care about portability and I wear powder foundation so the bronzer sticks didn't make a whole lot of sense for me. If you plan on a bare face this summer, go for the sticks...

I found the hundred degrees to chalky for me, but I love the rose d'or bronzing stick. I didn't find them hard to blend at all, and I might go back for the gold one too. I did get the gold pearlizer and it looks fantastic layered over the bronzing sticks. Quiver was a beautiful coppery bronze colour, but way too dark for my NC 15 skin. HTH.

Are the bronzing sticks lip and eye safe? I probably won't get it if it's not a multiple...

the sticks and powders are both multiples....i bought both, the sticks are great looking even over foundation, or on bare skin - and the pearlizers are just fine! they go on like silk and have a great shimmer and even look better OVER the Sticks...

I'm NC20 and for some reason quiver looked really good on me...maybe just because I'm always in the sun and even though I'm pale I love that sunkissed look! I'm always layering Nars Laguna and Angelika and this is really close to a heavy mix of the two. My mom saw me after my mac trip (I was wearing a dusting of quiver and some goldbit--but didn't buy it, too similar to naked pigment) and was like wowwww.... how did you get sun today it was so dreary--you look fabulous! hehe thanks quiver
